What is Waterpolo?
Waterpolo is a fantastic way to get in shape, make new friends, and partake in one of the most intense sports. It is like rugby, soccer, and basketball, but you cannot touch the bottom of the pool! There are two teams of seven players, with one goalie and six field players. The goal of the game is to score goals by throwing a ball into the opposing team's goal. You can only use one hand to pass and receive the ball, and you have to tread water. It is a challenging sport requiring both aerobic and anaerobic abilities. But in the end, you feel like a champion! Learn More at USA Waterpolo
